Resident Evil 6 Has Been In Development For Two Years

Ever since Resident Evil 6’s official announcement, the series’ official Twitter feed has been buzzing with conversation with fans, and also brings us a little more information on the game. Here’s a bullet list of things that you may or may not be aware of:

The game has been in development for 2 years.

More information on a demo will be available in the coming months.

“Tall Oaks” is the site of a new outbreak in Resident Evil 6, and is populated with 70,000 zombies. [note: Tall Oaks is where Leon’s story takes place. Chris is in China.]

The zombies are “a bit different to what you may be used to”and are unlike any in past Resident Evil games.

“There will certainly be a survival horror element to the game, mixed in with classic Resident Evil moments.”

This one is more obvious, but the control system has been “overhauled” and will feature “a number of new elements”.

According to Xbox.com, Resident Evil 6 supports 2 players offline co-op, up to 6 players for online co-op, and up to 8 players for another online multiplayer mode.
